Stephanie James

Professional background

Stephanie James is the Lead Osteopath and the Director of The Osteoperformance Clinic in Wimbledon.

Originally from Britanny, France, Stephanie James has been living in London for the past thirty years. Her interest in complementary healthcare started many years ago and has since developed into a lifelong passion.

Having originally undertaken courses in both Sports & Remedial Massage & Reflexology, she decided to further enhance her knowledge of anatomy and biomechanics by studying Osteopathy at the London School of Osteopathy where she graduated with a Masters in Osteopathy.

Stephanie is committed to continuing professional development and regularly attends postgraduate courses to keep her skills up to date. Her postgraduate qualifications include Cranial & Visceral Osteopathy, both respectively studied at the prestigious Sutherland and Barral Institutes.

She also followed a 2-year course specialisation in Paediatric Osteopathy at the Osteopathic Centre for Children, London where she has had the opportunity to work under the supervision of an experienced paediatric team, treating children who present with a wide variety of conditions, from the common (such as colic, reflux, flat head syndrome, glue ear) to special needs (autism, cerebral palsy, Down’s Syndrome). During that time, she also treated babies and children in the Neonatal Intensive Care Unit within two local London teaching hospitals.

Her paediatric exposure and experience in treating special needs children over the past few years have led her to become a Tomatis® Practitioner and to develop an interest in the neurodivergent population (eg ADD, ADHD) and the associated Retained Primitive Reflexes.

She is an accredited Level 1 & 2 Rhythmic Movement Therapy Practitioner.

Additionally, she underwent a specialised training to address symptoms of Chronic Fatigue Syndrome / Myalgic Encephalomyelitis (CFS/ME)/ Long Covid with Dr Raymond Perrin and has been a registered licensed Perrin Technique Practitioner for over 10 years. She has been awarded an Excellence in the Practice of the Perrin Technique by Dr Perrin in 2019 and meet up with him on a regular basis to keep her skills and knowledge updated.

Stephanie has also undergone techniques to specifically target the Vagus Nerve as well as been trained in the Niromathe technique.

Learning the art of manual therapies has not only transformed her personal growth but has also given her greater insight and understanding into the types of problems her patients commonly have. Using a variety of techniques, she is able to help them by relieving their pain as well as offering advice on rehabilitation, recovery, relaxation, and wellbeing.

She strongly believes that an integrated approach to musculoskeletal pain is the way to ensure patients get the correct treatment and management.

Outside work, Stephanie loves cooking, reading, and travelling.

Stephanie is registered with the General Osteopathic Council and is also a member of Institute of Osteopathy in the UK.

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I highly recommend Stephanie! She is absolutely charming, professional, and very knowledgeable. Initially, I was struggling with lower back pain during the night, which was affecting the quality of my sleep. However, since starting my appointments here, my sleep quality has improved significantly, and I find myself waking up much less frequently in the middle of the night.

The clinic is conveniently located close to Wimbledon station, making it easy to find. It's lovely, clean and tidy clinic!

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I have seen Stephanie for a couple of issues now. The first was around a year ago, for headaches and insomnia. Within just one session with her both issues were resolved. The latest occasion was for a variety of symptoms that had arisen from contracting covid a few months ago. I had really bad fatigue, brain fog, clogged ears, blurred vision. I was in a terrible way at my first appointment with her. After my second appointment, I felt remarkably better and after my third, all the above symptoms had disappeared. She is a miracle worker! Would highly recommend her amazing services

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I have been seeing Stephanie for Perrin technique sessions for nearly a year and my condition has improved significantly in that time - I contribute a huge part of that to Stephanies skill as a practitioner. She’s enormously knowledgeable and has fantastic personal skills to put you at ease in her sessions. She tailors sessions well to my condition and has offered great advice along my treatment path. I would thoroughly recommend her to anyone interested in pursuing osteopathic treatment.

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I was so impressed at Stephanie's treatment of our 9 week old after we'd had a tongue tie division. She was so gentle, took the time to ensure we were both at ease and the difference was noticeable. I cannot recommend her highly enough.

I have been seeing Stephanie for over a year now to help with my ME/CFS and other related symptoms and feel confident in ascribing my significant recovery to Stephanie's continued treatment.  The clinic itself is beautifully presented and I always leave my Osteo appointments feeling better and more relaxed.
